The dark throne

Chapter 11

Third person POV-

"Aren't you hungry Ellie" Veronica asked her sister while she herself took a bit if everything from the luxurious buffet.

"Huh?" Elizabeth asked.
She had been in her own thoughts and hadn't heard Veronica's question.

Veronica sighed and gestured to the buffet. "Hungry?" She tried again.

"Ah..no I'm not hungry"

"Are you not feeling well or something?" Veronica asked, concerned that Elizabeth had a stomach ache or something.

"I'm feeling just fine, I think I just spoiled my dinner by eating a bowl of strawberries" Elizabeth said a big embarrassed.
Her plan hadn't even worked! It hadn't taken her mind off of Meliodas at all.

Once again Elizabeth turned her gaze to where she had seen meliodas stand just a few seconds ago.

Veronica saw her look somewhere else and so she tried to follow Elizabeth's gaze, and she was thoroughly disappointed hen she saw that her sister was looking at the demon king.

"Ellie...don't get too hung up on a beast like that!" Veronica scolded.

Elizabeth felt a sudden urge to scold her sister back and defend Meliodas, but she wasn't ready for her sister to know that she had actually been full on kissing that so called beast.
Instead Elizabeth just ignored Veronica, and continued to look at Meliodas from afar.

'What is it about him that's made me fall so hard?' She wondered.
'Is it how he make me feel so confident and special, and so very comfortable around him.
How he make her feel so....so...Loved' she kept on wondering, but halted at the word "love"

'It's not love! It can't be! It's just a crush that we've both acted upon!' She screamed at herself.

She was slightly terrified at how quickly she drew these kinds of conclusions.

"Ellie!" Veronica scolded, now louder, since Elizabeth has just ignored her the last time.

"Am I not even allowed to choose where I look?" Elizabeth responded irritatedly.
Veronica's overprotectiveness was really beginning to bug her.

Before the slightly taken aback Veronica didn't get to answer before Elizabeth began walking away.

Elizabeth had had enough for the evening, so without excusing herself she left and went to her room.

Veronica was now angry, but choose not to follow.

Meliodas however saw her leave, and also noted that she seemed somewhat hurt and angry, so he excused himself from his conversation with Ban and Merlin and discreetly followed Elizabeth.

He had to be quick though and follow her on her heels, because if he lost her he wouldn't know where she was going.

"Hey hey! hang on!" He called out for her when they were far enough from the dining hall to not get interrupted.

She stopped immediately, shocked that someone had actually followed her.
"Meliodas? What is it?" She asked slightly concerned when she saw that it was him.
After all there had to be a reason he had ran after her.
